Dialect comparisonFinnish Kalo vs Sinte Manouche
Compare two dialects of Romani side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.
Finnish KaloKaale · Finnish Kaale · Fíntiko Rómma
A Northern Romani variety spoken by the Finnish Kale in Finland and, through twentieth-century migration, in Sweden. It shows heavy structural and phonological influence from Finnish, including consonant gradation, and is one of the most distinctive Northern Romani dialects.
